Descendents — the timeless progenitors of pop punk — are one of my all-time favourite bands and I talked to their vocalist/the world’s leading punk-rock biochemist Milo Aukerman for FasterLouder. It was ace. Read it here.

Also: one thing I left out of the article was how much I loved the stark difference in crowd reaction/behavour in the clip for their ’96 classic “I’m the One”…

I hung out with The Temper Trap in NYC the day their new album Thick As Thieves came out. We talked about it (surprisingly) and what it’s like to follow up a disappointing-performing second record, while also dealing with a founding member leaving the band.
